FOUR SEASONS IN TWO DAYS

Or, at least, that's what it feels like.

Busy weekend, including a couple of public events.

First up is tonight, when I will be making my second appearance as DJ Icky Animal, "spinning" from 11 to 1 a.m. at the Fez Fez Ballroom in the downstairs bar, 318 SW 11th Ave, right across the street from Powell's, above Buffalo Exchange. If you're wondering what kind of stuff I play, you can look at the set list from last time. $4 at the door.

Second, tomorrow night, Floating World is hosting a party to celebrate the release of One Model Nation, a little project under the guidance of Mike Allred, written by C. Allbritton Taylor and drawn by Jim Rugg. All three of those folks, plus editor Joe Keatinge, colorist Jon Fell, and historian Donovan Leitch--yes, that Donovan Leitch--will be at the store from 6 to 9.

By the way, the Portland Mercury is running some charity auctions right now. They have two comic book packages, one of which contains a place on the Oni Press comp list in 2010, which means a copy of Spell Checkers in amongst there. Bid on that here. The other auction is a pack of Dark Horse comics, and it includes an original page of Joëlle Jones' artwork from Dr. Horrible. At the moment, the price is insanely cheap, check it out.

Joëlle's site should also have prices for other Dr. Horrible pages shortly.

My confession...

Author of prose novels and comic books like Cut My Hair, It Girl & the Atomics, You Have Killed Me, and 12 Reasons Why I Love Her. Jamie's most recent novel is the serialized book Bobby Pins and Mary Janes, and his most recent graphic novels are the sci-fi romance A Boy and a Girl with Natalie Nourigat; Madame Frankenstein with Megan Levens; and the weird crime comic Archer Coe & the Thousand Natural Shocks with Dan Christensen. He also co-created Lady Killer with Joëlle Jones.
